Dayton, Tennessee, Wisconsin, NC State -- even UWM -- is a general improvement over past years. Now, get rid of the Protestants (the Baptists and the Presbyterians)and stick with the Catholics (i.e., Loyola, Gonzaga et al).

A lot of the preliminary scheduling is done a year in advance. Most of the stuff is just finalizing and TV negotiations in the summer. Crean probably was responsible for 90 percent of the non-conference schedule. And as far as the Big East schedule goes, Crean is a big reason why MU is in the Big Eastso he's responsible for almost all of the schedule.It's understandable that you're angry at Crean, but don't be blind, be objective.

I'm not "angry" at Crean. I cannot stand him. He had nothing to do with the NC State game. Nothing to do with the Wisconsin game, fought like heck to stop us from playing UWM. So what exactly is he responsible for non-conference wise this year?
